'IO ALL WHOMT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, MAX MILLER, of Brooklyn, Kings county, State of New York, have invented a new and useful'improvement in Toy Wind-Wheels; and I do hereby declare. that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable .others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of my improved toy wind-wheel.

Figure 2 is a top view of a revolving scroll-wheel.l I

Figure 3 is an edge view' of a revolving screW-WheeL Figure 4 is a top view of the Wheel represented in iig. 3.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish a simple, cheap, and amusing toy for children. And it consists of the combination of the month-piece, tube air-chamber, pivoting pest, and revolving scroll-wheel, or equivalent, with each other, as hereinafter more fullyl described.

A is the mouth-piece, which is simply an enlargement formed upon or attached to the end of' the air-tube, B, and covered with a perforated cap, as shown in tig. 1; or it may have any other convenient form, for eli'ecting the ,same purpose, which is to receive the air from the mouth and introduce it into the air-tube. B is the airtube, one end of which is connected to the mouth-piece A, as before described, and the other end is connected with the air-chambenrC, as shown in iig. 1. The air-chamber C may be cylindrical in form, or it may have any- -other convenient form, and acts as a reservoir to receive the air from the 'tube B, and discharge it against the revolving-Wheel. in such a direction as tocause it to revolve and keep it revolving. For this purpose 4the upper head or side of said air-chamber has a number of small holes formed around its central point, through .which the air escapes against the under side of the wheeL-causing it to revolve. D is asmall vertical post or rodthe lower end of which is securely attached to the centre of the head or upper side of the air-chamber C, and the upper end of which is rounded ed' to forni a pivot upon which the wheel revolves. The revolving-wheels may be made of various forms to give variety to the toy. '.Ihey may be made in the forni of a scroll, E, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, or in the form of a wheel, F, as shoivn in gs. 3 'and 4, or in any other well-known form. But in all cases they should have a depression or socket'forined at their centres' of gravity, so that. they may be balanced and revolve upon the point or upper end of the post D, as shown in'gs. 1 and 3'. And they should be so formed that the streams of air coming throughthe holes in theupper side of the air-chamber C, and striking against the under side of said wheels, may cause them to revolve rapidly. Ii' desired a handle may be attached to the lower side of the toy, or the tube B may serve as a handle.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersjPatent- An improved toy wind-Wheel, formed by the combination of the mouth-piece A, air-tube B,.'airchan1ber C,

pivoting post D, and revolving-wheel E, or equivalent, with each other, substantial-ly as' herein described, as a newarticle of manufacture.
